STEVEN HOLL & ELIA ZENGHELIS / A CONVERSATION

Two of the most prominent and influential architects of the 20th and the 21st century, Steven Holl and Elia Zenghelis talk about their experiences like old friends and colleagues, reviewing a fascinating life`s work. They recall people with whom they collaborated during the previous years, such as Zaha Hadid and narrate their passions and views pertaining to various aspects of the architectural practice, such as Zenghelis` attitude towards clients or his profound love in the drawing.

 

They also praise the Architecture School where they studied, the Architectural Assosiation as a forum where ideas and innovation could flourish as well as the importance of the debate and public discussion as an indisputable power of moving forward. Another issue of high importance is the fact that Elias Zenghelis expresses his displeasure on the male dominance over the architectural practice, which is rarely discussed among the architects.
